Summary

This quote suggests that different circumstances are conducive to learning different things. In calm situations, when one's mind is at ease, it is easier to acquire knowledge or mastery of concepts that require focus and concentration. On the other hand, during turbulent or challenging times, one learns valuable lessons of resilience, adaptation, and problem-solving. Adversity often provides opportunities for personal growth and the development of skills that can only be gained through experience. Thus, this quote highlights the importance of embracing both calmness and tumultuous situations as valuable sources of learning and growth.
